Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Pair of Double Pupils

Chapter 71 Hundred Tiger Tower Squad

A water-blue planet.

This was the very place where Fang Yi and his group were to conduct their assessment.

The Black Dragon Mountain Empire Mercenary Corps Assessment Center is located within the world of this planet's main realm.

The group of five disembarked from the receiving spaceship, paid the fare, and hurried towards the depths of the mercenary alliance's base.

Along the way, the group introduced themselves to each other.

Fang Yi memorized the names of the women. The woman in brown was named Kayura, and the other woman was named Kakayu. The two were sisters.

Another elf-eared man named Kayou was of the same race as the two women, while another green-skinned man was their companion, Handley.

The names of the group were not long, and Fang Yi quickly memorized them, noting that they were "easier to remember than some foreign names."

Upon first entering Thunder City.

You can see many floating cars flashing by in the sky above the city, and its overall style and prosperity are no less than those of Qiulong Star.

We arrived at our post.

Then you can see that there are other people who are also taking the test gathered together. The guards scanned the group's identity signals and then let them pass, allowing them to enter the spacious garden.

The second floor of this garden villa is the passage to the world of the Realm Lord.

Due to the large number of people, some still need to queue.

However, while queuing, Fang Yi noticed from the conversations of other test takers around him that there were quite a few powerful figures participating in this test.

And these people all seemed to have some status, as they didn't even need a soundproof film when they spoke.

"Hundred Tiger Tower, Three Axe Mountain, Black Cloud Society, North Dragon City—" Fang Yi's voice was soft, but his companions behind him could still hear it.

"I didn't expect there to be so many people today?" Kayura was also somewhat surprised and curious.

They were naturally aware of the strength of these four organizations.

After all, in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, who doesn't know the names of the four major organizations? Even a ninth-level cosmic-level martial artist is only considered a junior member in these organizations.

"This trip seems a bit dangerous—" Kayou frowned, looking at the people around him, he sensed immense pressure.

Each of them possesses extraordinary abilities.

Their team's overall strength was less than half that of these teams.

"Since we're already here, are you going to regret it? Anyway, be careful. Fang Yi, you must stay close to us and avoid getting separated, otherwise you won't survive long here with your first-level Hengxing strength."

Kakayu said in a serious tone.

After all, they had invited Fang Yi in on their own initiative, so they had to at least ensure his safety.

Although we were just strangers at first, we're teammates now, at least.

"Although I am only at the first level of the Star Realm, I am not weak." Fang Yi's tone was relaxed and he was not lying.

But the group of people were all taken aback when they heard this.

Then they stared at each other, and Fang Yi suddenly asked himself a question: Why is he so confident?

The group didn't have time to chat any longer.

The team ahead has already entered that world of the Lord of Realms.

Now it's their turn.

Standing at the edge of the room, the woman with purple patterns all over her face saw the group of people and reopened the closed door. Fang Yi immediately reached out and took their hands.

Kayura quickly clenched her hands to avoid being scattered into different areas when she entered.

"Walk."

The group entered the stream of light one after another and then disappeared.

In the blink of an eye.

-

Streaks of lightning flashed continuously above everyone's heads.

Fang Yi looked at the scenery above, his eyes slightly narrowed. "This place will open up into a realm within a realm in the future. That will be a great opportunity that we can't miss."

Currently, we lack better weapons and equipment.

The spear and the needle sword are quite handy at the planetary level, but they are not quite up to par at the constant level. However, with the blessing of the Divine Light of Creation, their power will be greatly enhanced.

Using a ninth-tier star is still feasible.

"Which area are we in now?" Kakayu asked.

Han Deli opened the basic map that all the examinees had, quickly browsed it, and then replied, "We are on the banks of the Dori River."

"The banks of the Dori River are alright, not too dangerous. Further west is Lake Devil Moon."

Upon hearing the name Demon Moon Lake, Fang Yi felt a sense of familiarity. His left eye's double pupil quietly activated, and with a scanning range of 300 kilometers, he immediately saw the entire surrounding world clearly.

You can only see Yaoyue Lake, which is 100 kilometers away.

In addition, they also discovered their target for this trip—the Star Python.

"There's a group of Heavenly Star Pythons in Demon Moon Lake, which happens to be our target." After Fang Yi finished speaking, his left eye returned to normal.

His affirmative words, however, left the others somewhat confused.

Those eyes seemed to be asking, "Wow, how did you know?"

"Fang Yi, how did you know?" Kayura asked, her voice full of curiosity.

"Just trust me. I know this world pretty well." After Fang Yi finished speaking, the others exchanged glances.

They all nodded in agreement.

In this brief time together, they discovered that Fang Yi's words and actions far exceeded their expectations. He really didn't seem like a newcomer.

Throughout the journey, Fang Yi always walked at the front of the group.

This left the four people behind them somewhat puzzled. Why was Fang Yi so brave? Could he be from some kind of race that lives by fighting?

Therefore, he was extremely confident in his first-tier Star Realm combat strength.

They couldn't think of any other more reasonable explanation than this.

Because the gravity in this world is too strong, the group's flying speed was not very fast.

Therefore, it took a considerable amount of time to travel 100 kilometers.

Demon Moon Lake.

-

The closer Fang Yi got to this place, the more ferocious beasts he saw, thanks to the double pupil in his left eye's ability to analyze the world.

Besides their target, the Celestial Python, there were also ferocious beasts resembling giant lizards, as well as some small, worm-like ferocious beasts.

Han Deli was a spiritualist, and under the detection of his spiritual power, he naturally discovered the Celestial Python.

"Great! It really is a Celestial Python! Brother Fang Yi, you were right, this place definitely has them, we came to the right place!"

Handley's excited words relieved Kayura and the others.

Then, everyone immediately adopted a high-level combat stance, because after finding the target, the next step was to kill the target!

At that time, it could be extremely dangerous.

Their team's overall strength is generally weak, so the best approach is to plan a strategy, kill only five Heavenly Star Pythons, remove their venomous fangs, and then leave immediately.

After telling Fang Yi this, Fang Yi thought about it for a moment. He didn't say much, but nodded in agreement.

Although he himself was not afraid of these murderers, others were.

With the plan set, Kayou led the way to try and lure them away, while Handley, the strongest among them, followed closely behind to wait for backup.

Time passed second by second.

Kayou seized the opportunity and successfully drew the attention of three Celestial Pythons, which had already distanced themselves from the other snake groups.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Handley used illusion magic to seduce. He was an illusion-type mentalist, and his core method was to bewitch.

The celestial python swiftly attacked the group!

Fang Yi stood to one side, nodded slightly, and thought to himself, "Han Deli's proficiency in illusion magic is very high. He is indeed the strongest person in this team."

As the three Celestial Pythons broke free, Kayura was about to shout excitedly when Kakayu covered her mouth.

This signals that one should not make any noise to avoid attracting other ferocious beasts.

Upon hearing this, Kayura could only mutter softly, "Do it!"

The group immediately made their move. Kayou shot out, took out a spiked club from his waist, and with a fierce swing, struck the python's vital spot, causing it to bleed profusely!

The scales shattered, and blood dripped from the tip of the spiked club.

It let out a sharp hissing sound—"Hiss!!!"

However, it was a little far from the other ferocious beasts, and Fang Yi's double pupils had already been activated, so he had been silently using illusion magic on it.

The combat power of these three celestial stars has been weakened.

They were easily dealt with by the group.

"Fang Yi, you cut that one." Handley excitedly took out a bayonet and began harvesting the marked snake fangs.

When he finished cutting with great effort, he looked back at Fang Yi and found that Fang Yi had already collected a snake fang in his hand.

"Wow, that's fast." Handley was a little surprised, not expecting Fang Yi to act even faster than him.

Each celestial python has only one fang marked with a venomous mark.

Therefore, the group still needs to hunt down two more.

Fortunately, the group of star snakes and pythons did not leave this lush and verdant land, as it was the most suitable place for them to live, and there were many other ferocious beasts there as well.

Just as the group was about to make their move again...

As expected, other teams also discovered the location and began hunting for the assessment materials they needed.

Fang Yi was the first to spot the group and immediately waved for everyone to stop.

As Kayula was wondering what was going on, a few seconds later they realized that several figures were flying towards them. They were immediately startled and everyone carefully hid in the grass and trees.

"Someone's coming!" Handley's eyes were sharp, and his pupils widened in shock when he saw who it was.

"The Hundred Tigers Tower team consists of eight people: two at the 7th level of the Eternal Star realm and six at the 4th level of the Eternal Star realm."

These words were spoken.

Kayura and his companions clenched their fists, not daring to make a move.

Handley quickly used illusion magic to conceal their presence; as long as they didn't move, they would likely remain undetected.

Fang Yi's eyes lit up. The opposing team's composition was already in the upper-middle tier of any group. Their strength was undoubtedly considerable, and they were also from the Hundred Tigers Tower.

While everyone was observing.

The eight-person team easily dispatched several unicorn iron rhinoceroses with ruthless methods, and also killed other ferocious beasts in the process.

The strength they displayed shocked Kayura and her group.

If they were to fight them, they would probably die even more miserably than those ferocious beasts.

Kaka immediately signaled to everyone in sign language, instructing them to leave carefully and stay as far away from the team as possible to avoid being discovered.

Kayura nodded in agreement.

The group needed to escape as quickly as possible before the illusion completely wore off, but Kayura had only just begun her sprint.

This immediately attracted the attention of the 7th-level mentalist in the 8-person team!

"Who's there!"

The adult immediately roared in the universal language.

Handley's pupils dilated in shock. They were half a lake away from the eight-man team, yet they were able to be detected by the slightest touch. It was truly unbelievable.

The eight-person team immediately flew towards the group.

"What should we do?" Kayou shouted hurriedly.

"We can't run, we can't outrun them at all. We have no choice but to hand over the materials we have on us—" Kakayu frowned.

"But what if they don't let us go?" Kayu was extremely nervous at this moment.

"We can only adapt to the situation." Kakayu clenched his fists, wondering why they were so unlucky to encounter a mid-to-upper-tier team.

Fang Yi frowned but didn't say anything more.

In his mind, he had already completely analyzed the movements, details, and habits of those people.

Before long, those people hovered above everyone's heads.

Kakayu quickly stood up, released the materials, and called out, "We were just passing by and happened to come here to collect the materials we needed. We mean no harm."

The 7th-rank captain of the Hundred Tiger Tower team frowned when he saw the group.

"Star-level Tier 3, Star-level Tier 2—and there's even a Star-level Tier 1? Hahaha, you dare to come in with this kind of setup?"

Upon hearing this, the other team members also burst into laughter.

Kakayu clenched his fists, feeling displeased, but dared not say anything or resist. The difference in strength between the two was too great, so he could only go along with the other party.

But the captain raised his head slightly, looking at Kayura and Kakayu.

"I'll let you go this time, but hand over everything you have—I mean everything."

Those cold words.

The excited laughter of the other team members echoed in their ears.

Handley clenched his fists, refusing to be humiliated: "You bunch—"

However, he didn't finish his sentence.

A golden sword suddenly flew away!

The squad leader, who was laughing excitedly, suddenly turned serious as he realized the attack of the golden sword and immediately retreated to avoid the terrifying sneak attack.

"Something's got something—" A fierce glint flashed in the squad leader's eyes.

He hadn't finished speaking.

But then Fang Yi's figure shot out.

With spear and halberd in hand, he slashed down fiercely, and the squad leader quickly controlled the eight throwing knives behind him to block them at the same time.

But at the very moment the weapons clashed.

Fang Yi's golden domain suddenly opened up!

It instantly covered half the lake surface, leaving the other members of the Hundred Tigers Squad and the few people below dumbfounded!

"A domain? You actually have a domain!"

The squad leader's face was full of surprise. A mere first-level Star Realm cultivator actually possessed a domain, and one with such a large range.

Could the other party be a member of some powerful family?

Fang Yi ignored his opponent, exerting terrifying force with both hands to simultaneously control the golden sword to fly towards him. Seeing this, the squad leader immediately shouted, "Kill him!"

Another 7th-level martial artist immediately stepped in to help.

Upon seeing this, Fang Yi immediately adjusted his spear and halberd, turned around, and used his halberd to block the opponent's slash.

Sparks flew everywhere!

Kayura and his group below immediately joined the battle.

"Hurry and help Fang Yi!"

With a shout from Kakayou, Handley controlled the throwing knives and took the lead in blocking several other members of the Hundred Tigers Tower who were trying to join the battle.

But just as both sides were sending reinforcements, which had just taken to the skies to provide support, they arrived.

With the activation of his double pupils, Fang Yi's overall combat power increased fivefold under the terrifying amplification!

now.

Fang Yi displayed a completely overwhelming force. His spear and halberd were unstoppable, striking another 7th-tier martial artist directly.

Although the man reacted extremely quickly and hurriedly used his knife to defend himself, the terrifying impact caused his eyes to bulge out, and he felt as if his abdominal organs were being twisted together.

Before he could even resist.

The golden needle sword immediately struck the back of his head. The man tried to resist, but Fang Yi immediately scanned him with his double pupils and plundered the spiritual power of the people present into his own body.

With the terrifying enhancement of his mental strength and double pupils in both eyes, the golden sword pierced through his head in the blink of an eye!

moment.

Kill him.

"What?!"

This scene shocked everyone present.

The squad leader, still terrified, was struck diagonally from above by a spear whose force suddenly increased several times.

The opponent's armor was quite good.

But even with this terrifying enhancement, Fang Yi still managed to sever his head.

The two bodies were positioned one in front of the other.

They almost fell into the waters of Demon Moon Lake.

The remaining six people had just flown into the air and were within a few meters of Fang Yi.

Fang Yi suddenly glared at him!

next moment.

One after another, pairs of double pupils slowly awoke and opened from the surrounding space.

immediately.

From his eyes, one terrifying black beam after another shot out; these beams were different spiritual attack techniques.

But in reality...

The six people had no chance to resist and fell into the lake.

"Bang bang bang bang—

'

The sound of one figure after another falling into the water was as crisp as dumplings being dropped into boiling water.

"Tier 7 is still too weak."

Fang Yi's eyes returned to normal, and after fully activating his double pupils, these people were no match for him.

Then.

Using their mental powers, they began to loot the belongings of these people.

Fang Yi nodded in satisfaction only after all the armor and weapons had been stored in his spatial ring.

Just as he realized what was happening.

Turning around, I saw several people flying in the air, looking up at each other with somewhat blank stares.

Kayura and his group recalled what Fang Yi had said earlier.

"Although I am only at the first level of the Star Realm, I am not weak."
